HOUSE AND FARM.
Reducing Bones

Bones are the cream of manures, but
the difficulty is that ground bone is
sold at too high price, and not every
farmer knows how to reduce those he
may collect. The following mode is
one of the best and most efficacious:
"Put them into a large arch kettle
or boiler, with an equal bulk of good
hard wood ashes; pour in water
enough to make a thin mortar, and
boil the mass from one to two hours,
when the bones become completely
dissolved or broken down, with the
exception of a few hard shin bones.
Shovel the mass into box and allow
it to remain week or so, when the re-
mainder of the bones will mostly dis
appear. Mix it with twice it's bulk of
earth and use it in the hills"
Now, brother farmers, collect the
old bones about your premises as above
directed, and apply it in the hill Of
anything you choose, remembering to
kick little soil over it before you drop
the seed, and you will find this re-
ceipt worth the price of this paper.

Christian Neighbor.
BY REV. SIDI III. BROWNE,
Of the Seuth Carolina Conference
Hunility...SelERespect.

One of the most beautiful character
tics of a Christian is humillty-the
placing Of low estimate upon Whatever
is of worth in himself. Before God he
ever cries, unworthy, unworthy; before
men he is pattern Of modesty, and ap'
preciative of the good in other men. Not
thinking too highly Of himself his vision
of those he feels are beyond himself IN
Christian attainments is not obscured,
there is even danger of hiding Christ
himself when the heart is filled with
vanity and self-gratulation.
But there are in this as in all things
two sides to be presented. If humility
does not permit us to place too high an
estimate upon ourselves it does allow us
to retain our self-reSpect. This very
strong element in self-help and moral
elevation cannot be eliminated from our
constitutions, nor, We believe, did God
ever desire the loss of so strong an ally
of good morals and Christian integrity.
Name man who is without self-respect
and we Will udlllc tLC SoIiS AhAoAA ~ ~~--O
without the respect of his fellows.
There are some we have seen who ap-
peared to think that by throwing away
all dignity and self-regard that they were

ceiying themselves with the thought OF
reaping reward for their huml!ity'
Instead of possessing that Christ-hke
virtue they are merely without self-re-
spect, and lower mems estimate OF
Christian character rather than win them
to see its true beauty, and thus be drawn
to loyeit.

GOVERNMENT IN RAGs.-There is
contentment with godliness, which is
great gain, having the promise of the
life that now is and that which is to
come, and is like Joseph's coat OF
many colors. If Joseph wore such a
garment as true contentment, as his
after years showed, he was more than
a prime minister-he was king the
moment he put it on. How rich, how
royal are all they who are clad in its
many colors. They are the possessors
of three worlds; the greatest is that OF
inward peace, which can reform
worlds and reclothe men in the mlust
of the penuries of life. A Scotch no.
bleman, seeing all old gardener OF ms
establishment with very, ragged coat
made some passing remark on its con,
dition. "It's vera guild coat" said
the honest old man. II cannot agree
with YOU there" said his lordship:
"Av, " it's a vera guild coat" persisted
the old man; lit covers contented
spirit and a body that ewes no man
any thing, and that's mair than many
a man can say of his coat"

Rev. VIM. Weir, Washington, Pa, one
of the Secretaries Of the "National Re-
firm Association" on visit in the South
writes, MAY 5,) to the Christian States
man, Philadelphia. Speaking Of Colum-
bia, S. c., he says:
How fresh and sweet are these morn
ings and evenings our Master gives this
Southern climate. This morning
in crossing Sidney Park, curious
bowl shaped enclosure crammcd with
great water oaks and other trees,
the clouds as soft grey mist hid the hot
sun, the foliage took that rich dark hue 1t
never wears in sunlight, the air was as
gentle, fragrant, dewy, refreshing, as the
breath from Springs own lips. But yes
terday evening, on my way to the post
office, suddenly came out where the
street ran along the edge of a bluff. For
miles and miles stretched the beautiful
vision. Here before me lay a large por-
ton of the city with its shaded streets
and homes hid in vines. The air was
rich with the last song of the robins.
Away to the right lay the valley Of the
Consarec and the eye ran along the far
thest line of its bluffs until sight was
lost in the hazy blue. Along the distant
sky trailed column of smoke as OF a
passing train. Such lndcScrlbable pur-
pie shadows in the Southwest. Such Il
glorious sky overhead. And in the west
the evening star shonc, solitary mac
nificent brilliant, fastening y bow ol hui!

General Beauregard and General
Longstreet evidently have the same
single impression of the Confederacy.
Each is confident that he was the
greatest man. in it and would have
been successful as commander-in-chief
and that his superiors were shabby,
overrated and pig headed men, jealous
of merit and giving most of time and
labor to repressing greatness.
Longstreet joined the republican
party and assailed General Lee; Beau
regard Joined the Louisiana lottery
and abuses ex President Davis. That
is all the average southern man cares
to know about either.

Congress may spend fifty millions,

what good will it do if the anarchists
keep bringing their dynamite into this
country. Every man that rejects
Christian law is menace to our hap

fend our affairs and our fires in any
other way so we'll as by playing the

Look to Jesus.

Young Christian, are you troubled
because of your sinfulness? You are a
great sinner, no doubt, but where are
you looking? At self? Does that help
the matter any? Do not you find self
becoming even worse instead Of bet
ter as YOU look? You have probably
but faint idea yet of your sinfulness |;
and the longer you look within, the
worse will be the sight. How long
would it take sick man to get we'll
by feeling his own pulse and looking
at his pale, thin face in the glass
Looking at your sinful nature and
thinking of your sins will not trke
them away. Like the sick man, you
need help outside Of self. You need to
look, but not at self. In you there Is
no help; God has laid help on One
Look to Jesus. The Bible says,
"Look unto''-not yourself nor your
sins, but unto-"ME" (that is, Jesus
the Saviour), land be ye saved"
Look to him, Christian; he died for
YOU. and he is able to save you from
ali ain. Look away from self, away
from all that is sinful; look to the
only One able to save from sin, and he
ahle to save unto the uttermost. Think
of trust in, him as the One who died
70 redeem you. Keep looking to him
if YOU look at your sins. let 1t be only
long enough to become sorry for and
ashamed Of them, so that you feel you
must have the Saviour at once. Then
look to Jesus.-FoTaUdrd.

An inert person is likely to be USE
full person. Motion is not necessarily
progress; action is not necessarily ac-
complishment. One may be as truly
inert in action as in inaction. Among
philosophers, inertia Is that tendency
of matter to remain in the state in
which it has been put. Once at rest,
it continues at rest; once in motion, it
continues with the same motion-un-
til acted upon by some external force.
Most persons are troubled with inertia.
If they are at rest, they need some one
to rouse them into action. If they are
in motion, they need some one to vary
the speed, or change the direction of,
or to stop that motion. He who waits
for all external force to cure his own
inertia, will not be very likely to be
much of force in helping to cure the
worlds inertia. By slackening your
own speed, you may draw some one
else into action. By increasing your
speed, you may push some one else
into action. There is no virtue in mo-
ton unless you move something; no
virtue in action, unless you act upon
something. If you would be of use in
the world, avoid the inertia of motion
as we'll as the inertia of rest.
